Today we started out our day fishing with Dave and Sue from Oklahoma. We started out trolling the reef and with the king fish biting so well we had our limit of kings in no time along with a box full of bonitos.
Ok so now that we had caught a box full of kings and bonitos we decided to try for a big fish like a shark or a sailfish. So we set out our kites with live baits suspended from them along with a couple of dead king fish set out down deep. Sorry to say no sharks or sails today but a great time was had by all.
Thanks again Dave and Sue for a fun packed morning of fishing.
As we pulled back to the dock we had our afternoon trip waiting on us and eager to try their luck at some deep sea fishing.
We had Charlotte and her son Sterling from Coral Springs Florida and we also had Jamie and Kennard from Jacksonville Florida.
Since trolling the reef had produced fish this morning we went right back to it and sure enough the kings and bonitos were still biting. We ended up once again with a box full and everyone had a great time.
Thanks again to all of our anglers today.

Today we had a shared charter and all different people from all over the world but by the end of the trip everyone had such a great time and got to know each other so well you would have thought they were all best of friends from way back when.
Ok we'll start out with Frank and his kids Frankie and Noel from Chicago than we had John from Austin Texas and last but not least we had Charles and Karl from Germany
We knew that we had 6 different people and they all wanted to catch fish so we went back to trolling the reef and sure enough the king fish and bonitos did not let us down. (THEY WERE SNAPPING)
We caught more than enough kings and even started throwing some back. Now it was time to try for a big fish so we worked our way down to the south to a ship wreck and set out a live bait just to see what might be hanging around. It turned out to be the right move once we got our live baits out there and mad a couple of circles around the wreck (BAM) we were Hooked Up and little Frankie jumped in the chair and the fight was one. It was a back and forth tug a war for a goon 10 min but Frankie finally wore down his fish and ended up catching a big barracuda.( NICE GOING FRANKIE)
Ok we were looking good at this point and still had some time left. This time we decided to drop one of these live baits down to the bottom on top of the wreck and once again (BAM) we were Hooked Up. It seemed we could do no wrong today. This time Frank jumped in the chair and the fight was on. I've got to say Frank is one tough sob but this fish was starting to put a bit of a hurting on Frank. It took Frank about 15 min to finally ware down his fish and it turned out to big a big greater amber jack.
To all of our anglers today thanks so much it was a ball and frank we are looking forward to fishing you again hopefully this January.
Well catching does not seem to be a problem this time of year so give us a call and let's get you HOOKED UP

Today we had a fishing trip looking for some good eating fish to fill the fizzers with. We had James, Rooney, Ben, Andy and Kyle from Fort Myers Florida and we also had Danny from Cartersville Ga.
We started out trolling the reef for king fish and bonitos and yes once again they were biting and we caught a box full in no time. Now it was time to roll the dice and go off shore to see if we could find some dolphin fish. I've got to take a second to say that the dolphin fish have just not been around in big numbers yet and I'm not sure why but all the same we were going to give it a shot.
Finally after quite a bit of trolling we did catch a dolphin and we were hoping there would be more with him but sorry to say he was all alone and that did turn out to be the only dolphin fish we seen.
That is the thing about going off shore dolphin fishing we are either a hero or a zero and while we were not a zero we did not find them in the numbers we were hoping to for these folks.
James sorry we did not find more dolphins for you guys this time hopefully next time we can whack them.

Today we had a fishing trip that was arranged by some guy by the name of Shane. As it turned out Shane a some of his friends Chance, Richard, Eddy and Mike were all supposed to be going fishing today for some kind of a bachelor party thing.
I guess they started their party the night before because this Shane guy who put the whole thing together never did make it to the boat.
However we did all have a lot of fun calling him on the phone and harassing him and his little hang over and we also did manage to fill the box with king fish.
Guy's thanks again we really enjoyed fishing with you guys and if I make over to Bermuda I will look you guys up.
As we pulled in back at the dock we had our afternoon trip eager to try their luck at some deep sea fishing and as they seen our morning catch their hopes were high.
We had Chris and Christian from Bridge Water South Dakota and we also had George and Sedaris from Montreal Canada.
The reef had paid off for us earlier in the day so we went right back to trolling the reef and once again it paid off with the king fish and bonitos biting like mad dogs and we also caught 3 barracudas one of them turned out to be a big trophy barracuda caught by Chris.
It was an action packed day and with all these king fish and bonitos around it sure takes a lot of the pressure off of us and leaves us plenty of time to try for some of our bigger game fish that are also around this time of the year.
So if you like reeling in fish and having a ball doing it now is the time to do some fishing down here in Sunny South Florida. So give us a call and let's get you HOOKED UP

What a great day of fishing that's all I can say about today.
Our day started out with a shared charter consisting of three guys and one little school teacher from South Carolina. We had Lori the school teacher from South Carolina and we had two guys Matt and Eric from Port Neches Texas one guy Tom from South Florida.
It took about 10 min into the trip till everyone got to know each other and in no time it seemed everyone was best of friends.
We started out trolling the reef and yes once again the king fish and bonitos were just biting any and everything we put out there and everyone was just having a ball reeling in fish one after another. We trolled our way down to the south and got to a ship wreck about 7 miles south of our inlet. Once there we trolled around little Clark spoons hopping to catch a few small bonitos. But what we ended up catching was a big bonito. As luck would have it Captain J.J. had a big triple trouble hook rig ready.
So he unhooked the bonito than he hooked the bonito onto this rig. . It only took about 30 seconds till J.J. got this done and now the hunter was the hunted. We slowly worked our way back to the wreck with this big bomber bonito in tow. As soon as we got over the wreck my phone rang and I was talking to a customer on the phone when it happen. There was this BIG explosion right where this bonito used to be and line started scramming off the reel. I can tell you that when you hook a big fish near a wreck the first thing the fish is going to do is head right back for the wreck and try to cut you off. J.J. noticed I was on the phone and gave me this look that could kill. Needless to say I hung up on our customer and got the heck away from the wreck as quick as possible. When we were finally clear of the wreck the fight was on and we knew who the hunter in the group was. Lori jumped in the chair just as I seen this MONSTER barracuda started jumping all over the place.
I have caught a lot of barracudas in my life but this one was just a little different than the rest. I was praying that this one would not get away. It was a back and forth tug a war for a good 10 min but at last Lori wore down her fish and J.J. got close enough to gaff this sea monster.
If you could have heard Lori hooting and hollering you would have thought she had just won the lottery or maybe she was at a rock concert but no as it turned out she really was a hunter and she knew she had just caught one hell of a trophy. (WAY TO GO LORI) 60 inches long and 38 pounds (that's a big one)
I've got to say that I am aware that I've got a pretty cool job but let me just say some days are just a bit better than others and today was one of the better ones.
Thanks again to all of our anglers and Lori hope your inshore fishing trip with your dad is half as good as this one.

Today we had Jeff his wife Jacquie and their son Richard from Toronto Canada out for a day of deep sea fishing. Our plan was to start off trolling the reef and then put out some live baits and see if we could catch a sail fish or a shark.
We started out trolling and fishing was good. We had the kings and bonitos coming in the boat one after another none stop. It got to the point that we could not even keep any more kings because we had our limit. So I decided to speed up our trolling speed and fish a little deeper. I knew that there had been a few Wahoo's caught this week and thought we just might get lucky.
And that was just what happen we had the bonito Queen Jacquie reeling in what we thought was just another bonito when all of a sudden Captain J.J. noticed this one had strips.
Way to go Jacquie. A nice 20 pound Wahoo. Hope you guys have a great dinner.
Thanks again guys and Jeff we are looking forward to fishing with you again on Monday.
FISH ARE BITING so if you like catching and not just fishing give us a call and let's get you Hooked Up.
